Long fields of barley and of rye,

How it pours, pours, pours,
In a never-ending sheet!
How it drives beneath the doors!
How it soaks the passer's feet!

As it began, rain ended quickly in Yorkshire. There was no gradual waning of water, no silent mist to ease the way from heavy drops to dry skies. Instead, there was a simple change, like the snuffing of a candle. One moment, there was pounding rain, and the next ... silence.
Draughts Quotes : pic 001018389
The choking, sweltering, deadly, and killing rule of no rule; the consecration of cupidity and braying of folly, and dim stupidity and baseness, in most of the affairs of men. Slopshirts attainable three-halfpence cheaper by the ruin of living bodies and immortal souls.

Corn is cleaned with wind, and the Soul with chastening
Draughts Quotes : pic 000450455

Our choicest plans

our airiest castles
tumbled over,
because of lines
we neatly drew
and later neatly
stumbled over.
